-
Carbon Dioxide
-
Oxygen
-
The sun
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. The sunExplanation
The ultimate source of energy for the cellular energy cycle is the sun. This is because sunlight is captured by plants during photosynthesis, where it is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This glucose is then broken down through cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the primary source of energy for cellular processes. Therefore, the sun plays a crucial role in providing the initial energy that is used by living organisms.Rate this question:

False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The indicated portion of the leaf structure refers to the chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis in plants. These tiny organelles contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy through a series of chemical reactions. Photosynthesis is a vital process for plants as it allows them to produce glucose, their main source of energy, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is correct to say that the indicated portion is the location of photosynthesis in the plant.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Exchanging gases into and out of the leafExplanation
The circled part of the leaf structure is responsible for exchanging gases into and out of the leaf. This process, known as gas exchange, allows the leaf to take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen, which is essential for photosynthesis. Additionally, it allows the leaf to release excess oxygen and water vapor produced during photosynthesis. This exchange of gases is crucial for the leaf to obtain the necessary resources for energy production and to release waste products.Rate this question:

The organelle that is circled in the image is the ___________________
Correct Answer
chloroplastExplanation
The organelle circled in the image is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that captures light energy, and other pigments that help absorb and transfer energy. Chloroplasts have a double membrane and contain thylakoids, where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, and stroma, where the light-independent reactions occur.Rate this question:

The structure being pointed to, located inside a chloroplast is called the _______________________.
Correct Answer
thylakoidExplanation
The structure being referred to inside a chloroplast is called a thylakoid. Thylakoids are flattened, disc-like structures that are stacked on top of each other to form grana. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that are essential for the process of photosynthesis. Thylakoids are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy, which is used to produce ATP and NADPH.Rate this question:

What is the major portion of the cell energy cycle occurs in the portion of the leaf shown
-
Cellular respiration
-
Photosynthesis
-
Both of the above
-
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. PhotosynthesisExplanation
The major portion of the cell energy cycle that occurs in the portion of the leaf shown is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically glucose, which is used as fuel for cellular respiration. In this process, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy. While cellular respiration does occur in plant cells, the major portion of the cell energy cycle in the leaf is photosynthesis.Rate this question:

What theory is supported by the cartoon ?
-
Theory of evolution
-
Theory of endosymbiosis
-
Theory of relativity
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Theory of endosymbiosisExplanation
The cartoon supports the theory of endosymbiosis. This theory suggests that certain organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by larger cells and formed a symbiotic relationship. The cartoon likely depicts this process, showing the engulfment of a smaller cell by a larger one, supporting the idea of endosymbiosis.Rate this question:

-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. To increase the surface area available to create ATPExplanation
The purpose of the curved (cristae) shape of the mitochondria's inner membrane is to increase the surface area available to create ATP. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded into numerous cristae, which provide a larger surface area for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis. This allows for more efficient production of ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. The other options, discouraging attacks from predators and allowing it to easily engulf smaller microbes, are unrelated to the shape of the inner membrane of mitochondria.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. MatrixExplanation
The Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. The matrix is the innermost compartment of the mitochondria, surrounded by the inner membrane. It is where the majority of the chemical reactions of the Krebs Cycle occur, leading to the production of energy-rich molecules such as ATP. The outer membrane and cristae are not directly involved in the Krebs Cycle.Rate this question:
